Senior Manager, Cybersecurity

Details

You will lead security operations and incident response initiatives across the organization. This role is ideal for a security leader who can address critical security incidents and make rapid containment decisions. You will support team health, operational processes, and cross-functional collaboration to foster a strong, high-performing security function.

As a manager on the Cyber Defense & Response team, you will guide the complete incident response lifecycle and maintain operational preparedness. You will translate NVIDIA's engineering-first, technology-focused, threat-informed defense strategy into practical plans. You will partner with incident responders, security engineers, threat intelligence specialists, and product, platform, and engineering teams to safeguard NVIDIA's corporate, cloud, and product environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day Cyber Defense & Response functions, ensuring operational readiness, execution rigor, and alignment with NVIDIA's cybersecurity strategy.
• Own the incident response lifecycle from start to finish, including investigating, containing, recovering from, and reviewing critical incidents.
• Increase detection and response efficiency by broadening coverage across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, including GPU-accelerated and AI/ML workloads.
• Define detection expectations and standards aligned with NVIDIA's threat landscape, including monitoring requirements, coverage goals, and compliance requirements.
• Own operational performance and outcomes, including MTTD, MTTC, MTTR, detection coverage, alert quality, and false-positive reduction, with a focus on root-cause improvement.
• Drive Cyber Defense & Response improvements using agile methods, maintaining a risk-prioritized backlog and guiding delivery through planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Transform manual SOC work by identifying repetitive analyst tasks and converting them into automated, event-based AI pipelines.
• Partner with Security Engineering to operationalize tooling, automation, playbooks, and post-incident improvements that measurably improve response efficiency.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of overall cybersecurity experience, including 4+ years managing people within a SOC or incident response function.
• Strong technical depth to independently participate in active incidents, including reading SIEM queries, evaluating automation workflows, investigating alerts, and assessing case quality.
• Deep expertise in one or more SOC-relevant domains, such as digital forensics and incident response, threat hunting, cloud security, detection engineering, log analysis, malware analysis, or security automation.
• Strong knowledge of cloud security across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other cloud service providers; identity and access management; endpoint protection; and securing containerized or GPU-based AI/ML workloads.
• Demonstrated experience owning operational metrics and driving measurable improvements.
• Experience building or improving incident response processes, playbooks, and critical issue workflows.
• Proven ability to lead global, 24x7 teams across distributed shift structures using agile practices, with ownership of backlog prioritization and sprint metrics.
• Ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly to engineers, executives, and legal and compliance partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Calm, decisive leadership during high-severity incidents, including leading teams, making containment decisions under pressure, and presenting clearly to technical and executive stakeholders.
• Track record of deploying security automation, orchestration, analytics, and AI-agentic SOC workflows that reduce manual workload, false positives, analyst toil, and response times.
• Experience developing detections and response playbooks for AI/ML systems.
• Experience coordinating with product or supply-chain security teams.
• Experience integrating or migrating SIEM/EDR across hybrid multi-cloud environments, including cloud service provider log sources, MDR partners, and co-managed detection and response models.
• Relevant certifications such as GCIH, GCFA, GCFR, CISSP, or AWS/Azure Security.
• Track record of building high-trust teams that learn continuously and maintain high standards.
• Experience cultivating psychological safety, fostering continuous learning, and celebrating wins while maintaining high standards.
